Additions to this stub bio titled "killitary controversy" do not meet the following Wikipedia guidelines:

It is not well written, comprehensive, factually accurate, neutral and stable.

(a) "Well written" means that the prose is engaging, even brilliant, and of a professional standard. The addition to the original stub does not rise to a professional level, and includes poor grammar and spelling. The name of the blog cited in the article is incorrect also.

(c) "Factually accurate" means that claims are verifiable against reliable sources and accurately represent the relevant body of published knowledge. Claims are supported with specific evidence and external citations; this involves the provision of a "References" section in which sources are set out, complemented by inline citations where appropriate. The author uses an incorrect name for the blog cited and relies on original research that is not supported. It also states the opinion that this was a "great controversy," a statement not supported by fact.

(d) "Neutral" means that the article presents views fairly and without bias; see neutral point of view. The article clearly is from a viewpoint opposed to Mitchell's "Killitary" post and seems designed to support and promote Charles Johnson, whose Wikipedia bio is prominently featured in the article.

(e) "Stable" means that the article is not the subject of ongoing edit wars and that its content does not change significantly from day to day; reversions of vandalism and improvements based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Though the article is has not yet been subjected to revisions, the atmosphere is obviously ripe for such changes.

It does not comply with the manual of style and relevant WikiProjects. The following standards are not met:

"of appropriate length, staying focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style)." Citation of Charles Johnson and Little Green Footballs is irrelevant to the article. The controversy is also an insignificant detail not appropriate to the biography project.
